Supposedly Baffert gave the horse out on Facebook. I am not friends with him so I wouldn't know.

Shocking, another Smart Strike that can run.

Yeah, horses that break their maidens going 5 in July are usually the kind of horses you'd want going 10 furlongs next May.

McKenzies Way is a horse to watch for next out at Del Mar.

I think he is a Del Mar Futurity horse but I don't know about being a Derby horse. That horse doesn't really look like a 1 1/4 mile horse despite being by Smart Strike.

I liked the way he did it, the speed was rode early to clear. Garcia did not have to engage, Smash just settled for him, I think he touched him twice at the top of the lane and the horse took off. Of course he might not be a 10f horse, he might not even be around by then, and there will NEVER BE VALUE, but I could def. see him being this years Lookin at Lucky.

Doesn't this really depend on the ELIXIR supply --- for each?

Not like this is something that's coordinated.

I would definitely make him one of the early favorites, if not the favorite for the Grade I Del Mar Futurity at this point.

Bob is loaded with maiden winners, but not the normal type of maiden winners. They all seem to have distance pedigrees. He had the Bernardini win easily the other day, and he had a Rock Hard Ten filly, cruise on turf.

I think he has a Tapit that I loved when I was at the Keeneland Sale, but he was a mess physically. Named Benergy

He is loaded. There is no doubt about that. The Bernardini filly won nicely. She was heavily touted just like the colt today.

Not really the point, but I singled Smash in the pick 4, looks chalky, but I did go all in the last leg on one of my tickets.

Now that you've got your dream man crush on FB, why date?

This horse started exactly a week later than Lucky did last year..

Any news on Misremembered?

That's no redboard by proxy. He called his shot here in advance.
